Apparently, one man escaped from Warren Street, probably after his device failed to go off properly, and ran into the UC Hospital! Staff were asked to look out for a man with wires sticking out of his top (!!) and armed police ran into the building shortly afterwards!

This doesn’t seem to be of the scale of two weeks ago, as far as I can tell at the moment.

It’s probably “The Sun” testing the attitudes of staff and police on tube trains so shortly after such a disaster. (a la breaking into Buck Palace, going to Harry’s military training camp with a fake bomb….)

I can see the headline now with some proudly grinning chumps on the front going “look what we did”

Seriously though, I hope this is a completely seperate incident and that no-one was hurt.

That’s a bit harsh, I think. Based on what we knew at the time, the idea of it being a prank seemed the most likely explanation. Are you suggesting that in the heat of the moment, people should keep to themselves and worry about what the hell’s going on?

At the end of the day, any bomb attack is serious. Luckily, today’s copycat attack was performed by people who didn’t know what they were doing. Given the significant forensic evidence, it won’t be too long before they’re caught.

Yes, we had a lucky escape. But I maintain it’s really not something to be worried about.
